how scp a file to server with space in the directory name
Hello forum, I’m trying to get someone else’s log rotation & sync script working. The ksh script is sending daily compressed log files to a Windows RSA envision server. The name of the directory is
“CA SITEMINDER_<IP address of the sending server>”. The servers we are sending from are a mix of Solaris 8, 9 & 10. The server I’ve been testing on is Solaris 8.
The script needs to be run as user smuser out of cron:
su - smuser (this is a ksh)
/apps/smuser/bin/rsync-smlogs 2012-01
smaccess.log 100% 89MB 842.0KB/s 01:48
So I updated all the other servers with the updated script, however, it seems it only worked once. If I run the script or do it manually, it’s failing again:
Code:
scp: CA\: Not a directory.
Someone from the monitoring team has access to the Windows server. He says the envision software doesn’t allow him to change the directory name to remove the space in the name. He also says he can scp files to a directory name with a space in it from another Windows PC using putty or from a Linux server.
Thanks for the reply, however, I am already escaping the space with a \. The last tests at the end of my post were to try what is alleged to have worked on a Linux box.
Code:
su - smuser
scp -i /apps/smuser/.ssh/id_logs /apps/siteminder/backup_logs/smaccess*.log nic_sshd@20.2.18.31:'CA\ SITEMINDER_20.137.241.133/'
scp: CA\: Not a directory.
Technically I used double quotes, but the result ought to be the same in this case.
It certainly works for me, so I'm beginning to suspect the problem isn't the linux client but the remote ssh server, where that sort of expansion actually happens.
